«The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.»

«God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection, and extended to all possible truth.»
«The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it.

The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.»
